| Note: I’m not certain how to activate the following fuctions - you may need to hold for at least 3s, and also have Shutter Strobe channel (22/15) closed (DMX 0-31) at the same time, but I haven’t yet managed to get it to work… | |||

| 240-247 | Macro 15 | ||
| 248-255 | Macro 16 | ||
| 15 | 11 | Prism Index / Rotation: | |

| 0-255 | Index (0 - ~390deg) | ||
| Note: Index doesn’t always hit exactly the same position (if rotation has been used?)… | |||
| Prism Rotation - select prism with Prism channel (14 / 10): | |||
| 0 | No rotation | ||
| 1-127 | Clockwise prism rotation (fast->slow) | ||
| 128-129 | No rotation | ||

| 16 | 12 | Frost: | |
| Note: This parameter is significant different to the Robin Pointe DMX Protocol | |||
| 0-64 | No Frost | ||
| Note: When the frost is activated (DMX 65-255), both gobo wheels return to ‘open’, and Zoom, Focus and Prism seem to have no effect | |||
| Note: Min Frost is significantly different to No Frost! | |||
| 65-255 | Frost: Min (5deg) -> Max (20deg) | ||
| 17 | 13 | 0-255 | Zoom: Max (10deg) -> Min (2.5deg) |
| 18 | Blank - might be Zoom Fine, but doesn’t seem to function | ||
| 19 | 14 | 0-255 | Focus |
| 20 | 0-255 | Focus Fine - Maybe? It does something, but seems to be a larger effect than changing Focus by 1 DMX point… | |
| 21 | Blank | ||

| 224-255 | Shutter open | ||
| 23 | 16 | 0-255 | Dimmer Intensity: 0%->100% |
| 24 | Blank - might be Dimmer Fine, but doesn’t seem to function |
